    How many miles is too many LR4

    If its been serviced and it is rust-free and is in good shape, I'd buy that in a heartbeat. Oh and pass 3rd party pre-purchase inspection.

    Which one?

    Wheel bearing or rear diff. My rear diff whines but its been fine. Gives me a reason to install an ARB air locker later on. Congratulations on the purchase!!

    Which one?

    Oh lulz. The uhaul trailer was 2200 lbs (!!!) and the 109 is 3500~4000 lbs. So if that ballparks you. Wasn't like towing with a 1 ton diesel, but it was comfortable enough that I wasn't on my toes the entire time. I'd tow 4k with it in a heartbeat.

    Recovery Equipment Recommendations

    X2 on the smittybilt strap. When I got mine, I was all pissed off. So I tried to kill it. IT IS TOO TOUGH. Cheap, multipurpose, and durable. Also the price is right. So that, 3 shackles (because you always misplace one) and go from there. Beyond that, I carry a small folding shovel. More for...

    Which one?

    X2. An HD package is a distraction for most use. If you REALLY need a locker, then you'll save up and do a nice OBA +ARB setup. Yes. High on price. IMO, a LR3 shouldn't be more than $10k...ever. For $15k, you might as well get a few extra Gs and step up to an LR4. Early LR4s are in the ~$20k...

    2 years in our 1962 Land Rover

    Oh yes. I'll be reading up on this. Can you tell me more about your roof top camping setup? I'm getting antsy to change out the roof on my 109. Was originally thinking dormobile style but That flippac-style setup is cool as well.

    Used LR3?

    Also I get my parts through a mixture of sources. Atlantic British is very good as they have kits. But a lot of time I go onto new LR cat, get part numbers, and then buy from lrdirect. Easy to buy from england and sometimes faster. Sometimes its cheaper, other times it isn't. But just keep an...

    F-150 Diesel

    The ford F-150 is a darn good truck. Overall I'm fairly impressed and I pretty much only deal with/ride in fleet models. The issue here is when that diesel engine is out of warranty. The fuel system alone will cost $$$$ to fix when it breaks. Bad fuel can quickly kill these systems which is...

    LR3 Tire Decision Time

    Yeah E rated is too much but its the only option. If I could've gotten C's, I would've done it.

    LR3 Tire Decision Time

    I'm only using a 245 tire for my spare. I wouldn't recommend it for main tires.

    Used LR3?

    Early 30s here as well and have owned an LR3 for about 6 months. Also a non-daily driver. So far its been excellent. Use it for hauling clients, date night, wheeling/camping trips, and towing. Its just been great. I got the "least interwebs version" possible. An 05 non-HD SE. It has been...

    LR3 Tire Decision Time

    I'm a new LR3 owner. Just put 265/60/18s BFG AT KO2s on. I really like them. No change in on-road performance (if I could get them in stock height, I'd do it). Really haven't had them off road yet but considering I was on bald performance tires beforehand, I am kinda expecting a lot. LOL. I do...

    LR3 ABS Issue

    I would recommend graphing the problem and then analyzing it. I quick scan of the GAP tool user manual indicates this is on page 124 and such. So start recording and pull up all data relating to ABS. Including individual wheel sensors (I hope it can do this). And then replicate the issue. See...

    LR2 vs LR3 Which has the better build quality?

    The LR2 is actually a pretty decent car. Seems to work well and be reasonably to own and operate. For the crossover sector, its a decent vehicle. Driving them is fine and MPG is somewhat reasonable. The big problem with these cars is for the price of a decked out one, you might as well buy the...

    Tow anti sway options for LRs with air suspension

    Its fine. No problems towing my 109. That said I wasn't doing 80 mph and tailgating.

    Tow anti sway options for LRs with air suspension

    UHaul Trailer. So it had integrated trailer brakes. Not great but not bad.

    Tow anti sway options for LRs with air suspension

    Its a program feature. So possibly your trailer stability assist isn't activated. In that case, the computer isn't looking for it and won't consider it. I have activated it on my LR3. Can't tell if it is working very well or has a low threshold. I hit a few big bumps and it sure did sway badly...

    Thoughts on Non-Land Rover axles on a Classic?

    A 14 bolt axle is what you want in the rear. Cheap, plentiful, and extremely strong. They are huge but assuming you are doing large tires as well, then its worth it. Be careful as most stock FF Dana 60 rear axles are only 30 spline rears (1.25" diameter axles). The 14 bolt is 1.5" diameter...
